Rigid plastic tubes, pipes and hoses of PVC market in Denmark

Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the market for rigid PVC pipes in Denmark experienced fluctuations in physical volume. Enhanced export activity in 2018 pointed to growing international trade for Danish producers, though market volume dipped the following year. A recovery in 2020 was supported by a notable reduction in export volumes.

A pivotal shift occurred in 2021 when global supply chain disruptions and an energy crisis drove a sharp 18% increase in export prices. This surge in value happened alongside a contraction in the market's physical size, as constrained imports reduced available volume while significantly elevating overall market value.

The market's physical volume continued to contract from 2022 through 2024, influenced by Denmark's long-standing ban on lead-containing PVC products. The regulatory environment evolved with the planned introduction of extended producer responsibility for single-use plastics from January 2025, while global energy price fluctuations continued to affect industry conditions.
